Safety Shorts by Matt Bunner

Prepare your people for success. Close all the loopholes and make learning practical and easily understood. Leave no employee wondering. #safety #inspiration #lead

Working hard does not mean working with risk. Don’t reward unsafe behavior. Grow a team of smart risk recognizers. #safety #lead

I got your back! Do your people trust and respect you? One of the keys to teamwork is trust within the group. Everyone in the group needs to know they have value and are respected. Trust is earned by time, being a person of character, experience and holding everyone accountable. #safety #value #professional #opportunity #truth

Sunday morning insight: Pursue your lofty dreams and not the dreams others think they see in you. Many people are so unhappy because they have to chase someone else’s vision. Don’t chase the dollar – it is not the most important part. #lead #grow #insight

Be an encourager: Show some compassion, some support, and build your people up! Make a difference! #safety #inspiration #lead

One key thing you can do to keep your safety culture thriving is to focus and watch for drift. People and businesses have a tendency to slowly fade or drift away from the straight and narrow. Sometimes on purpose but often just because we are human. #safety #lead #grow

Let go of your insecurities and raise up an army of safety managers. Every employee should be empowered and engaged in the safety process. Give them tools, knowledge and most importantly the opportunity to lead. #management #safety #lead

Never stop learning, growing, and serving your people. We often think these things are expensive, but the truth is it is the best investment in your company often with little cost. Fan their flame… Never snuff out their spark or flame. #safety #value #truth #opportunity #lead

Do you cheer for your employees as you do at the big game? Be your team’s biggest cheerleader. I want you to win, succeed, grow, and excel!!!!!! Bump some knuckles, pat some backs, encourage, and cheer. #dothewave #lead #safety #engage

Saturday Night Insight: Never assume that your people know the simplest of policies, procedures, or best practices. It is okay to review things with your folks. Nothing worse than a correctable word not spoken. Keep it simple and short, and if you’re internal barometer alarm goes off ~ invest and teach it. #safety #truth #team

Share your visions! Having dreams that are kept quiet or hidden have only one purpose. It is a way of crushing your passion that causes leadership cancer. #lead #castavision #share

Friday Night Insight: show others where your leadership compass is pointed, so everyone knows where “we” are headed. This allows everyone to row the ship in the same direction or to get off the boat! #leadership #safety #truth
